Fix #4625: UI settings survive a relaunch and a second window

Browse Source 
Two ways the next launch came back with settings from before:

- The workspace, panels, toolbars and other settings kept only in the UI
  state were written only on quitting (Preferences OK already saved at
  once, #1747). A session ended any other way lost them. The app now
  saves within 2 seconds of a change, and only when something changed.
- Each launch is its own process, so two windows are common (opening a
  second file from the file manager). A window wrote back the whole
  state it started from when it quit, so the one quitting last put back
  the settings it read at its start, even with nothing changed in it.
  A window now saves only what it changed since it last read or saved,
  merged into the file as it is: each UI field, and each engine
  preference on its own. A setting both windows changed takes the last
  save.

The status line, open dialog and other fields a start resets neither
trigger a save nor replace another window's.
